Sterling K. Brown

She's on Broadway before she graduated.

Somebody said you should think about grad school because I think that you have a lot of talent.

There's more potential that can be honed and have like a bag of skills that you can take out into the world and sort of make yourself as hireable as possible because it's such a transient occupation to begin with.

But if you can go on stage, if you can do voiceover, if you can sing a little bit, then it gives you that many more tools that are marketable and can gift you a job.

I wound up doing this play by Bertolt Brecht called The Resistible Rise of Arturo Uy.

It was directed by this dude, Simon McBurney.

He's a Brit.

He has a theater company called Theater Complicite.

And he gets Al Pacino to play the main role in this.

It's like a gangster story that Brecht wrote.

And the cast...

It's Chaz Palminteri, Al Pacino, Charles Durning, Steve Buscemi, Paul Giamatti, Billy Crudup, Linda Eamon.

And Sterling K. Brown.

And so I was the reader.

I was the reader for the production.

Which means, tell people what the reader does.

The talent comes in and they audition.

And you're the person that reads with the people who are auditioning to be a part of the show, right?

John Goodman was in this thing.

And so I had just torn my ACL.
